Before you spit on the idea of a sugar mama let's think about that kind of situation. HOW BAD COULD IT BE? 
I can almost say with a staight face that I would love to have a sugar mama. Just sit around and play with the dog all day. Sounds like a plan to me! How much sugar does this mama have? I think I could live with it. Just make a run down to the clinic and get your tubes tied, because lets face it, the dog needs you.
Let's face the fact that you can't always go with plan A.That would be living the back up dream.
Be a real man...please! Ha Ha Ha. Familyman might have too much pride, but not me.
Where can I find a sugar mama?

The low pay is only the first year for most regionals. Enough for you and your 5 other FO roommates to survive. The pay gets better after the first year. Regional Captains make good money. I really doubt many Reg pilots do outside work with only around 10 days off. Especially the turbo prop guys who fly 90-100 hours a month.

The FA is pretty and probably has a fun personality, but she probably hasn't been to college and her only employment skill is flying...well as soon as she starts popping out the puppies do you think SHE's going to want to keep flying? Ummm...no. You just upgraded, got the big raise now you're supporting a family on a single regional income...
There are plenty of hot, ambitious, educated women out there who spent their twenties in law/medical/b school and getting their career started...now they're lonely and confronted with dating in an ocean of loser @sshole meth addicts (most of the good ones are taken by now). GO FIND YOU ONE! You are substance free, have the mystique, and TRAVEL BENNIES. Her six-figure income can cover the restaruants and hotels in Europe, you just provide the travel...she really doesn't care that you only make a third of her income. Trust me.
If for some reason you can't find one in your town, start bidding long overnights in NORCAL...

Well considering I still live at home with the folks and I'm 23.... I really dont have to supplement my income. I did also make 24k last yr in 8 months at my regional airline. I don't know how other airlines feel about flying outside of flying professionally, but at my airline you can fly for pleasure as long as it dosen't interfear with flying 121. I've spent 5 hard years and alot of hard earned $$$ to go blow it all away towing some glider or giving instruction. Although I have considered offering my services as an instructor.... there is too much risk involved, and my certs. put bread on the table. For those of you out there flying professionally and on the DL as well... be for warned. Espcially if you are on probation at your particiluar airline.

Working as an RN 2 days a week pays as much as FO does for a week or more. Second career worked well...did nursing school while flying 135 building the hours...then worked full time as a nurse and 135 in the day...then had enough to go to the regionals where I was an FO for a year...then Capt pay is a little better so I do not need to "Moonlight" much anymore.

If I was not working agency on the side I would be in hobo city. I don't see how people make it without a healthy supplement (second job or spouse)on first year pay. I showed some of my friends that I worked with back home my first pay check and they could not believe it; absolute horror. 
It'll pay off one of these days; I hope.
